The birds migrating here by calendar were in for a disappointment. gterma has been waiting out the warm season with a thick blanket overhead.

I must prefer I do prefer the open skies of summer nights but cannot argue the fact that the heavy overcast is also a pleasant backdrop (as long as you stay indoors that is...).<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://gterma041to060.blogspot.se/p/gterma051-silentwave-daiyuzan.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://gterma041to060.blogspot.se/p/gterma051-silentwave-daiyuzan.html" border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eV4CZrpM2dE/WDA0wV4cFeI/AAAAAAAACTY/VWbN8wm5jH0QOym2LnULsUax_rOdNtAUgCLcB/s1600/gterma051%255D%2Bx150.jpg" /></a></div><b>[gterma051] : Silentwave - Daiyuzan (out now)</b><br /><br />The temple complex at Daiyuzan Saijoji is but one of many shrines in Japan hidden away among trees and hills. These places offer a welcome change of pace from the busy cities and a chance to experience a very special type of quiet and tranquility. Composer Noguchi Yoshinori paints a minimalistic path along the winding steps that lead through the Daiyuzan grounds. An introspective walk along the remote path that leads to past, present and future.

Those who brave the foreboding climate and venture outside into the blackness find a nocturnal world under heavy clouds, or perhaps find themselves under the scrutinizing gaze of the coldest of piercing starlight. "The Nightquest Sessions", an enigmatic dream by itself, is a trusty partner under these circumstances.

We are once again blessed with a nightsky that is filled with both colours and stars. It is nights like these you never want to be turned into day. Dreams and thoughts collide on a smell of wild flowers and the calls from the young Grebes nearby. We celebrate summer with two new albums.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://gterma041to060.blogspot.se/p/gterma047-mathias-grassow-darklight.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://gterma041to060.blogspot.se/p/gterma047-mathias-grassow-darklight.html" border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9vnp12ByZY8/V5Jad9zt6VI/AAAAAAAACRU/bXX_me3xk0QLe7x5wH86YigJu4P2cCTswCLcB/s1600/gterma047%255D%2B-%2BMathias%2BGrassow%2B-%2BThe%2BDarklight%2BQuest%2B%25282016%2529%2Bx150.jpg" /></a></div><b>[gterma047] : Mathias Grassow - The Darklight Quest (out now)</b><br /><br />One of the strangest and most fascinating aspects of ambient music is the way it can sometimes morph from sonic wallpaper -where it basically functions as a soundtrack- into an agent of transformation, allowing the reshaping of the perceived world around the listener. Some of Mathias' albums have had this effect on me before, and the Darklight Quest definitely falls into this territory. gterma is happy to shine a light on this now mostly forgotten treasure, originally released as a DIY CDr in 1998.<br />&nbsp; <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://gterma041to060.blogspot.com/p/gterma049-sergey-gabbasov-sij-perseides.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://gterma041to060.blogspot.com/p/gterma049-sergey-gabbasov-sij-perseides.html" border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MxlUxPBssws/Vsit26VR78I/AAAAAAAACNs/zEyAqkEYrSg/s1600/gterma049%255D%2B-%2BSergey%2BGabbasov%2B%2526%2BSiJ%2B-%2BPerseides%2B%25282016%2529%2Bx150.jpg" /></a></div><b>[gterma049] : Sergey Gabbasov &amp; SiJ - Perseides (out now)</b><br /><br />Welcome along on another trip into the forgotten hinterlands of the Eurasian plateau. Sergey and Vladimir once again skillfully guide us through the dusty backwater trails of the Mongol steppe, along the winding mountain roads that slither through the steep valleys of the Central Asian mountain ranges past crumbling old villages where hardship and beauty go hand in hand. No manmade light disturbs the eternal slumber of the starry nightsky and every cave, every hill, seems under the influence of some forgotten deity or spirit being.gtermahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14853558609217178220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509954145112480228.post-5270401953906602542016-03-15T12:55:00.002+01:002017-09-01T06:26:26.772+02:00The Promise of SpringIt seems we have survived through yet another cold season. The grip of the cold is waning and the days start to grow longer. This is a battle that Winter cannot win.

Although perhaps mainly known for his panoramic and almost cinematic Himalayan soundworlds, on Puja he continues his more recent tradition of travelling the inner horizon. And in so doing, he also invites us listeners to undertake similar journeys of our own. Puja is a mysterious and magic constellation, fuelled by the spirit and discipline of the age old Asian cultures and philosophies.

It is the season of introspection, and of winter sleep. On Novemberlys we collect seven pieces that immerse themselves into the strange light of winter.

As we have arrived at the very longed for winter solstice, it seemed fitting to mark the occasion. It is still a bit early to look for signs of spring (although I did see a rat chase a rolling apple down the street last night...) so gterma will sink deep into the dark season with this selection of tracks from the Grassow back catalogue. Apart from the classic droneworks we also immerse ourselves into the shamanic period of Mathias' more recent works. Thanks to everyone who have journeyed with gterma during 2015 and hope to see you back in 2016.<br /><br /><iframe frameborder="no" height="180" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/238595862&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false" width="100%"></iframe>gtermahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14853558609217178220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509954145112480228.post-24665770456135797682015-10-16T18:14:00.002+02:002015-10-16T19:01:46.050+02:00October TideOctober is generally a rather dark month over here, but this year has seen somewhat milder weather and some spectacular sunsets. Today the evening sky was a deep blue ocean full of little golden islets spreading in wavy patterns across the entire sky. I found myself almost falling upwards into the heavens, losing myself in the ocean above.<br /><br />Released today are two albums that also gracefully drift between the depths of the oceans and the heavens.<br /><br /><a href="http://gterma041to060.blogspot.com/p/gterma045-as-if-havet.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://gterma041to060.blogspot.com/p/gterma045-as-if-havet.html" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pm4YT90tQ4A/VU81zphE7KI/AAAAAAAACEQ/Rc1cWcxktBE/s1600/gterma045%5D%2B-%2BAs%2BIf%2B-%2BHavet%2B(2015)%2Bx150.jpg" /></a><b>[gterma045] : As If - Havet (out now)</b><br /><br />Kenneth Werner returns to gterma with an album inspired by the ocean that surrounds his home island of Bornholm.

Twelve deep tracks hovering in the borderlands between dubtechno and ambient, the zone which we find As If returning to again and again.

On Pacifc Depths, we allow ourselves to catch our breaths and sink our tired souls into the deep blue abyss that is the lost history of Urenga itself. The album is made up of a deep ambient current collected from several digital releases that occurred between 2011 and 2013.

There have been a couple of interesting releases out in the past few weeks and now finally we are also able to release our own titles, which were unfortunately delayed for a couple of dark and damp winter months. Today, we welcome back the spring sun, and its gentle embrace of our worn souls.<br /><br /><a href="http://gterma041to060.blogspot.com/p/gterma042-sij-and-sergey-gabbasov-zhang.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="gterma041to060.blogspot.com/p/gterma042-sij-and-sergey-gabbasov-zhang.html" border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l-35tulBl94/VCcJE8_GBWI/AAAAAAAAB4M/c7IOdfiCV3M/s1600/gterma042%5D%2B-%2BSiJ%2B%26%2BSergey%2BGabbasov%2B-%2BZhang%2BZhung%2B%282014%29%2Bx150.jpg" /></a><b>[gterma042] : SiJ &amp; Sergey Gabbasov - Zhang Zhung (out now)</b><br /><br />Spreading their influence across what is today known as the rooftop of the world, the ancient kingdoms of the Zhang Zhung reached into the distant valleys and plateaus of the Himalayas. A culture centered upon the holy Mount Kailash, this people followed the Bonpo tradition, living their lives in the shadows of the many fearful Bonpo deities, but also overwatched by the compassionate Lord of the Heavens. Journey together with Vladislav Sikach and Sergey Gabbasov as they restore to life the centuries old mysteries of the Zhang Zhung.

Wave Mantra was originally released by Sean himself fifteen years ago. It is best described as a sonic journey through an enigmatic and absorbing soundworld with a very rich organic flavour. A beautiful tale that we are very happy to see back in print again. This reissue has, like so many other gterma titles, also been gently remastered by Anders Peterson. Comes in a jewel case with 16-page booklet.gtermahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14853558609217178220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509954145112480228.post-19661289399514519562015-04-13T12:28:00.000+02:002015-04-16T23:08:49.258+02:00Report: Solar Ocean returns with new albumThe Solar Ocean project went into hibernation a couple of years ago, but I got a message from Eugene the other day telling me he is back in the saddle again. Pleasant news of course, and even better when I learnt that he also released an album, <i>Melting Morning</i>, on Russian label Still*Sleep this February. Welcome back, Eugene!<br /><br /><iframe frameborder="no" height="320" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/96275970&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false" width="100%"></iframe>gtermahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14853558609217178220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509954145112480228.post-18911624678872686542015-04-12T23:44:00.000+02:002015-04-16T23:02:50.517+02:00Report: New ambient/noise project Khor Ba from UrengaAndras has been wandering the psychedlic path with his new Khor Ba material, available in demo form on Soundcloud for the moment.<br /><br /><iframe frameborder="no" height="280" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/97437225&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false" width="100%"></iframe>gtermahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14853558609217178220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4509954145112480228.post-22983728020241136732015-04-01T10:51:00.000+02:002015-04-16T22:56:28.152+02:00Report: Mathias releases Bandcamp exclusive album Wisdoom<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://mathiasgrassow.bandcamp.com/album/wisdoom" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="https://mathiasgrassow.bandcamp.com/album/wisdoom" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QqprGKIXqag/VTAhCahQn5I/AAAAAAAACDQ/EDaHv5R_7G0/s1600/2015-04-01%2B-%2BWisdoom%2Bx100.jpg" /></a></div>Heads up, Mathias has just released the first <a href="https://mathiasgrassow.bandcamp.com/album/wisdoom" target="_blank">Bandcamp exclusive album</a>, and a massive work at that. <i>Wisdoom</i> contains ten loooong tracks with over five and a half hours of dronesworks, collected from the archives if unreleased material from the more recent years.

We huddle inside our homes and cottages, hiding from the elements underthick blankets and lulled into relief through deep and mellow music hinting to the other side. We present two of these albums to you today.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://gterma021to040.blogspot.se/p/gterma038.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://gterma021to040.blogspot.se/p/gterma038.html" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hF0dIVUpr64/VDwPPV0iCjI/AAAAAAAAB5E/744ov2X1mik/s1600/gterma038%5D%2B-%2BSeetyca%2B-%2BLieder%2BZum%2BSummen%2B(2014)%2Bx150.jpg" /></a></div><b>[gterma038] : Seetyca - Lieder Zum Summen (out now)</b><br /><br />Songs for Humming is a very intimate affair, an album in strong symbiosis with the elements. Here are sixteen short songs, somewhat melancholic and almost bordering on the naive. You can feel the chill of the autumn air, smell the humid earth in your hand, taste the decay of fallen leaves. We are used to s. delivering massive dronewalls and deep, hypnotic soundscapes. Here he shows up his contemplative side, with music turning your eyes to drift into the deep blue sky. The album comes in a jewel case with 16-page booklet. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://gterma021to040.blogspot.se/p/gterma039-jason-sloan-deluge.html" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="http://gterma021to040.blogspot.se/p/gterma039-jason-sloan-deluge.html" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ka8r53d5dT4/VDwPbel5jcI/AAAAAAAAB5M/t5bNip2yPzU/s1600/gterma039%5D%2B-%2BJason%2BSloan%2B-%2BDeluge%2B(2014)%2Bx150.jpg" /></a></div><b>[gterma039] : Jason Sloan - Deluge (out now)</b><br /><br />If we have any StillStream fanatics here chances are you might remember this performance, which originally streamed live on the Sadayatana show back in 2011. Although then presented without title, Jason intended for this piece to capture the aftermath of our world after having suffered through a grand deluge. gterma are very happy to bring back to life again this emotional recording. Jason has also kindly composed for us a brand new epilogue which now closes the album.

Recently we also bid the Swifts a nostalgic farewell as they gathered up their younglings and headed south for the coming winter. As the darkness slowly descends upon us, replacing the glow of the warm evening colours, it is time to crawl back into the studio to begin work on the autumn's releases. Expect to see previews beginning to appear over the coming weeks. Safe journey, fellow travellers.gtermahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14853558609217178220noreply@blogger.com0
